Erin got to become an official member last weekend, since she was now a wife and not a fiance. And while the wedding was a celebration of this, we decided that we needed to help officially congratulate them, and specifically Erin for become a full fledged member of the "Real Housewives". What better way than to flock them?
Flocking is something that people do with flamingo lawn ornaments. A local youth group is raising money by having people pay to have a neighbor or a friend flocked. I decided to put a little spin on this, and instead of decorating just the lawn, we decorated their whole house with tropical flamingo decorations.
What couple would not like the luxury of their honeymoon being extended for another day or two? That is what we did, by decorating their house, and showing them some love. We even put a couple of home cooked meals in the freezer so they would not need to cook for a couple of days.
One of the great things about living in a small town is that I have had a chance to create such close, meaningful relationships, not only with my friends, but with their families as well. Erin's sister knew about our little plan, and helped keep the secret until the newlyweds got home today.
It was so fun for us girls to help extended the celebration for a day or two by surprising Erin and Jason. We truly love them from the bottom of our hearts!
